The death of Venezuela’s socialist firebrand has left a leadership void that is hard to fill. And it appears that Maduro isn’t even going to try to outshine the towering figure who preceded him. Instead, he’s selling himself as Chávez’s most devoted disciple -- by talking about him constantly.

A new website, Madurodice.com -- Spanish for “Maduro says” -- says the Venezuelan president has mentioned Hugo Chávez in radio and television appearances more than 3,100 times in the two weeks since the leader’s death. The site tracks Maduro’s mentions of Chávez in two charts updated daily, one tracking mentions per day and the other documenting cumulative mentions.

“We dedicate our time to stalking following Maduro on radio and TV to bring you the best statistics,” the site says.

Supporters of Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez react to the news that that Chavez has died, as they gather outside the military hospital where Chavez was being treated in Caracas, Venezuela, Tuesday, March 5, 2013. Venezuela's Vice President Nicolas Maduro announced that Chavez died on Tuesday at age 58 after a nearly two-year bout with cancer. During more than 14 years in office, Chavez routinely challenged the status quo at home and internationally. He polarized Venezuelans with his confrontational and domineering style, yet was also a masterful communicator and strategist who tapped into Venezuelan nationalism to win broad support, particularly among the poor.
